Coverage
"Though these arrangements may be concluded successfully, the event is sponsored by the students, and in no sense has the support of the College Administration, [Armstrong] added."
"Malcolm X represents a denial of all that the liberal arts college stands for. this racist leader insists on modes of irrationality and force that are contrary to the ideals of reason and persuasion of the liberal arts institution. It would be a disservice to Middlebury College to dignify him with a platform as well as a disservice to the Civil Rights Movement."- Armstrong
